Hike & Fly Hasenmatt

Spaziergang im Jura

Escape the hustle and bustle of the Weissenstein and then fly over the Jura Mountains. A mountain for those who enjoy pleasant leisurely flying. 

The Hasenmatt is located on a hill to the west of the Weissenstein. While the Weissenstein can be easily reached by train and is frequented by many paragliders on good Jura days, the Hasenmatt can be reached on foot.
